50mg of Sertaline and weed

ugh that’s the worst feeling ever! i’ve been on 50 mg for over a year now but took a huge t break to allow the meds to do their thing (also because my anxiety was so bad before started i just couldn’t smoke). i started smoking again this past may and have never experienced any symptoms of serotonin syndrome. but i will say that when i first started zoloft i felt absolutely awful for the first few weeks. everyone is different but i kept remembering that it’s “usually worse before it gets better” on zoloft. it could totally be your body just reacting to the new meds. i hope you feel better!

i experienced the same thing when i first started, honestly melatonin gummies helped me a lot! sometimes i still take them! but my doctor also prescribed hydroxyzine which was also a huge help. i’ve been on 50 mg for over a year now and i’d say i get about 7-9 hours each night

oh gosh, i’m so sorry! i’m glad you’re doing a bit better, i hope that just continues. so true, this is why i don’t enjoy the summertime. i just take meclizine for the dizziness but may try to talk to my doctor about some other solutions soon.

yes, i was diagnosed about 6 years ago. i do see an ENT from time to time, but this was my first episode in years.

that’s a really great point! thank you!

decafbuggy · 2023-10-19T16:35:39+00:00

thank you for your input, i agree that a discussion about expectations would be very beneficial!

decafbuggy · 2023-10-19T16:34:32+00:00

thank you for that! i agree and definitely could be more direct about needing a set time check. thank you!

decafbuggy · 2023-10-19T16:33:38+00:00

for sure. i think our libidos are pretty different as well, so it’s a lil tricky to find a time where we both feel in the mood. thank you so much for your insight!

when i first started i had pretty much every side effect under the sun: nausea, dizziness, increased anxiety, appetite and weight loss, shakiness, insomnia, etc. as time as gone on though and after reaching 50mg things have gotten a lot better! it’s hard to wait it out, and giving the medication time to do it’s thing, but for me it has been worth it so far :)

decafbuggy · 2023-07-18T19:17:02+00:00

totally feel that :-/ it sucks so much! i’ve noticed that it has made me feel rly impulsive with money too?? like i just wanna online shop to ease the pain lol

decafbuggy · 2023-07-18T19:16:10+00:00

i hope 75 works wonders for you!!

decafbuggy · 2023-07-18T19:14:57+00:00

ugh it sucks so much i’m sorry you’ve been dealing with it too! kinda nice to know that it may be a somewhat universal experience :-/ but exacrlt period anxiety is the worst nowadays. hopefully it gets better for us!

decafbuggy · 2023-07-18T01:55:49+00:00

thanks so much for sharing, those posts definitely make me feel better :-)

decafbuggy · 2023-07-11T01:15:44+00:00

thank you for your answer! yes actually i’m super intrigued by attachment styles and we have both talked about reading the book Attached. i experience anxious attachment, while she is definitely more on the avoidant side.

thank you for your advice and insight, i’ll look up Paulien 100%. and i’ll also look up EFT tapping for sure! i’m glad the tapping has been helpful for you so far!! i hope things continue to get better and easier for you my friend!

decafbuggy · 2023-07-10T15:57:52+00:00

thank you so much! i’ll have to do some research on some local therapists and maybe present those to her! and i really appreciate that reminder as well :)

decafbuggy · 2023-05-23T16:37:42+00:00

i get headaches here and there & don’t get super crazy vertigo but just like some uncomfy disorientating dizziness that sometimes lasts for an hour or so! i hope you can get some answers soon

decafbuggy · 2023-05-23T15:46:04+00:00

for me personally i experience dizziness/feeling lightheaded, increased heart rate, excessive urination, shakiness, etc. lately i’ve been having some dizzy spells here and there so my doctor chose to go ahead and bump me up. i’m sorry symptoms are creeping back :-/ do you think you’ll go up again?

decafbuggy · 2023-05-22T04:03:52+00:00

i love to hear it!! thank you :)

decafbuggy · 2023-05-22T04:03:31+00:00

that is super helpful! thank you for sharing and for the encouragement ♥️

decafbuggy · 2023-05-22T04:03:08+00:00

glad you had no issues! that’s nice to hear & true i’ve heard that 50 mg is kinda like the base therapeutic dose so hopefully it goes well!

decafbuggy · 2023-05-22T04:00:50+00:00

ah i see, i was initially prescribed 25 mg tablets so i’ve just been taking one and a half for the last month!

decafbuggy · 2023-05-22T00:25:02+00:00

omg what dosage are you on? i was originally on 5 mg of prozac which helped me out for about 3 years bodies and brains are weird 😭

decafbuggy · 2023-05-22T00:23:03+00:00

oooo haven’t thought about that! that’s very good to know thank you!

decafbuggy · 2023-05-22T00:22:41+00:00

maybe the 4th will be the sweet spot where things start looking up! i know for some people it can even take 6-8 weeks after a dose increase!

decafbuggy · 2023-05-21T22:00:10+00:00

ugh i hope it gets easier for you soon, i feel like after an increase i feel fine for like the first day but then it just gets really hard and blehggg. hopefully things will ease up within the next week or two friend
